Baasir Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 We take him as a bowler who can bat a bit these days. He can make to any LOI side as a leg spinner alone. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
CG Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 He is going to haunt them for another five years. :hysterical::cantstop: true.
Laaloo Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 We take him as a bowler who can bat a bit these days. He can make to any LOI side as a leg spinner alone. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk lol no check out his record in the last 5 years against top teams it's not that good
Magneto Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 We take him as a bowler who can bat a bit these days. He can make to any LOI side as a leg spinner alone. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk Has been pathetic against India as a leg-spinner though.
Tiger80 Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 :yay: We booked his spot in the world cup So , I never understand why so many Indians underestimate Afridi. He is much better ODI and T20 bowler than Ashwin and his batting is added bonus for Pak team
bones Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 Afridi has and always will be a pretty useless player. He is keeping out younger and better spinners and from what we have seen for over 15 years, with the bat he is a total and utter clown. Those last 2 shots, may have won Pakistan the game today, but on another day he could quite easily have hit them straight up in the air. A smarter bowler would have picked his wicket easily. I don't rate many modern batsmen, most are shyte who flourish on flat track vs garbage bowling attacks like the Indian and Bangladesh attack, but in terms of mediocrity, Afridi is right up there with the likes of Pollard and Luke Wright, the difference being. those guys won't be given such leniency for so many years. Until Afridi is kicked out permanently, Pakistan WILL NOT win anything meaningful. T20 is not meaningful cricket, it's hit and laugh.

Haarkarjeetgaye Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 he is a match winner....may not be an automatic choice in the Pakistan team but against India he is a first choice player. I admire what he did today. single handedly took on the Indian team in the last 6 overs. Put Bhuvi / Ashwin / Jadeja ..everyone to embarrassment...on his own
Asim Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 I was under pressure to perform: Shahid Afridi Wonder where that pressure came from? :dontknow:
TheWall Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 By letting Afridi win the match indirectly India has made sure that Pak will suffer for next 5 years...
gaurav92 Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 Afridi performs once in 25 games, and this was a game made for him. The situation demanded boom boom batting and that is exactly what he did. Not that he does anything different, but this time, he got away with it as it was the need of the hour and it pulled off :P
Gollum Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 Get a 145+ bowler and make him bowl at Afretard, guarantee that he will get him out within 10 balls. However Indians don't want genuine fast bowlers in the side.
Marut Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 So ' date= I never understand why so many Indians underestimate Afridi. He is much better ODI and T20 bowler than Ashwin and his batting is added bonus for Pak team He is good only against the minnows, that is why.
Straight Drive Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 Now that Afridi has won a match after long time, he has gone on air opposing the idea of pink balls being used in cricket on the grounds that they will stain his teeth when he bites them. :winky:
Detonator Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 Afridi the Ballbiter Afridi the Match fixer Afridi the gay screwer Afridi the age reducer.
Iconoclast Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 Small boundaries worked in his favor. It used to be that his mis-hits went 80-90 meters .. now they only go 70 :giggle:
